Volume 12: The Traveler's Base Chapter 020 Confrontation
Beatrice sat aside, watching the confrontation between Emiya and Freya in silence without saying a word.
However, she was extremely alert. If she encountered any trouble, she would take Emiya and run away. She would never leave Emiya here alone.
This is her most important contractor.
At the same time, Freya answered Emiya's doubts.
"Other gods may not be able to see the sudden changes in Hestia and Hephaestus's family, but I can see it. More importantly, you did it too ostentatiously."
Freya's eyes were filled with a strong smile, and she continued, "Especially in the Hestia family, many people with shining souls suddenly appeared. This makes me very curious."
"So I sent my own family to eavesdrop on their conversation, but I didn't expect to get some news that really surprised me."
Emiya: ...
This cannot be blamed on Gin Dojima and the others , it’s mainly because Freya is too insidious.
Who could have thought that a god would actually send people to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"Thank you for your kindness, Goddess Freya, but Loki has been very good to me, so I have no plans to change jobs at the moment."
Emiya rejected Freya with almost no loss of control.
Freya seemed to have anticipated this. A strange light flashed in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Even if I beg you, you won't agree?"
For a moment, Emiya's heart was shaken, and he felt that Freya's smile was extremely beautiful.
If he didn't agree, it would be a heinous crime. Such a beautiful woman begged him so much, how could he let such a beauty down.
"I..." He opened his mouth and said, "I still refuse!"
A hint of disgust appeared on Emiya's face.
He understood that the messy thoughts he had just had were because Freya could use her charm.
If it weren't for Shirou's rapid progress in recent days, his strength and spirit would have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Now he is probably so overwhelmed by Freya's charm that he has lost his way.
Facing Emiya's refusal, Freya seemed to have considered it, and said with a half-smile: "It's not up to you, young man Emiya."
As soon as she finished speaking, a burly orc walked in from the door of the restaurant.
The leader of Freya's family and the ultimate weapon of Orario.
The only one at LV.7.
The fierce one, Ota.
"Goddess Freya." Ota walked to Freya's side, nodded respectfully, and his eyes fell on Emiya, but Emiya was not afraid.
Ota glanced at the crowd around him and shouted in a low voice: "Get out!"
The adventurers who were eating around put down their cutlery and ran out tumbling.
Freya's family is at its peak in Orario, and the fierce Ota is known as Orario's ultimate weapon. He is very powerful and is not someone that these adventurers can afford to provoke.
Everyone fled the restaurant, thinking that less trouble is worse than more.
However, in just a few tens of seconds, the restaurant that originally seemed bustling became extremely deserted.
The only two guests were Emiya and Beatrice.
Emiya looked up at Ota who was standing behind her and said slowly, "Goddess Freya seems to think she has me in her hands."
"With your strength, can you defeat Ota?" Freya asked back.
The last time she saw Emiya, he was still very weak.
So she didn't think that the current Emiya could defeat Ota.
Emiya couldn't help but laugh, "Goddess Freya, have you ever heard a saying?"
"What?"
“When a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes. I don’t think you have heard of this.”
Freya remained silent. Of course, she had never heard of this sentence, but she knew what it meant.
Her expression changed slightly and she looked at Emiya in surprise and suspicion.
Emiya said calmly: "If this is our first meeting, I am indeed no match for Ota, but unfortunately, with the support of other worlds, I grow too fast, while you grow too slowly."
As he spoke, Emiya looked up at Ota.
A bird suddenly flew out of his eyes.
The bird flew into Ota's eyes in an instant.
Ota didn't even have time to dodge.
When the flying bird entered Ota's eyes, Ota stood still, as if he had turned into a sculpture.
Freya noticed something was wrong and couldn't help asking, "What did you do to Ota?"
Emiya said calmly: "This is a GEASS I obtained in a certain world... Pseudo-Time Stop. I can stop the time of a person or an object. Whether it is a hundred years or a thousand years, this person or this object will not change at all."
Freya's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
Emiya chuckled and said, "If I don't remove this ability, Ota will turn into a sculpture and will remain the same after thousands of years. There will be no change."
At this moment, a sturdy woman came over with a set meal and placed it on the table in front of Emiya, "Sir, this is the dish you ordered."
This woman was none other than the store manager of Hostess of Abundance.
"Welcome, Goddess Freya." The manager said to Freya respectfully.
The reason why she was so respectful was because she had once been the leader of Freya's clan, of course the original leader.
The current leader is the fierce Ota.
Seeing that the two were still acting here, Emiya raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not expose them. Instead, he focused his attention on the set meal.
This set meal actually consists of a piece of smoked beef, a bowl of fragrant soup, a piece of freshly baked bread, and a portion of fried chicken.
Looks pretty good.
Although it was simple, it was very exquisite and immediately whetted Emiya's appetite.
Emiya picked up the fork, forked the beef, put it into his mouth and took a bite, and couldn't help saying, "Delicious."
The smoky flavor is just right, while retaining the texture and chewiness of the beef. It seems that a little secret seasoning is added to it, making the beef taste rich and multi-layered.
"No wonder your business is so good here." Emiya praised.
"Thank you for the compliment." The store manager said calmly.
Beatrice ate in silence, even though she had eaten at the Chrysanthemum Garden and the Goddess's Feast before.
But I have to admit that the food cooked by this wealthy hostess is also unique.
At this time, Freya suddenly said: "If you are willing to transfer to my family, I can introduce my daughter to you."
"Your daughter?"
Freya said, "My daughter, you just saw it. That was the beautiful clerk who greeted you."
Damn, you are willing to sell yourself out just to get me. This is too cruel.
Others may not know, but I know that Xierfuroya is you.
Emiya now finally understood that Freya seemed determined to get him.
After thinking it over, Emiya finally refused, "Forget it, Goddess Freya, I'm not interested in your daughter."
Freya's face became increasingly gloomy, and she slowly said, "It seems that you are determined not to join my clan no matter what."
"I guess so." Emiya nodded. He really had no intention of joining Freya's family.
"I have a question."
"I don't promise to answer."
"When you first came to Orario, why did you choose the Loki clan? If you want to join a large clan, my clan is not inferior to the Loki clan at all."
Freya said this with a puzzled look in her eyes, "However, according to my investigation, when you first came to Orario, you were not confused at all and directly joined the Loki clan."
Emiya was a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to even investigate this."
Freya said nothing, just looked at him.
Emiya nodded and said, "I admit that I was originally targeting Loki's Familia and didn't consider your Familia at all."
"So I'm very curious, why is this happening? Why is my clan inferior to Loki's clan?" Freya asked.
Emiya thought for a moment, then said, "Maybe it's because I know myself well. I know that a big clan like yours would never think highly of me. In fact, I went to the Loki clan just to try my luck."
"If Loki's Familia didn't accept me, I would have gone to Hestia. She hadn't established a Familia yet, so I could have become the first member of Hestia's Familia."
Freya didn't expect this to be the reason. "I see. You are really an unconfident human being."
Emiya said: "As a person, it is better to be humble. Being overconfident is not a good thing."
Freya laughed, "But you seem very confident now. I can't do anything to you."
"This is mainly because I have become much stronger recently. Unless you gods are willing to risk being sent back to heaven to unlock your divine power, no one in the entire Orario should be able to stop me."
This is not self-confidence on the part of Emiya, but rather a judgment based on his own abilities.
"Then you should know that if I announce your identity, many gods will be interested in you, and even Loki's followers will not be able to protect you."
"You're scaring me." Emiya chuckled.
"I'm just telling the truth."
"Then I don't believe it. Why don't you try it?" Emiya knew that he must not be scared by Freya at this time. He said tit for tat: "Even if what you said is true, I can cooperate with other gods for mutual benefit, and then unite to suppress your Freya family together."
"Your Familia has become so powerful that many people want to step on your Familia to gain power. Not to mention the others, Loki will definitely go to war with you. At that time, the Hephaestus Familia will not be polite to you either."
"Other clans might take advantage of your misfortune. With so many clans joining together, how long do you think your clan can hold out?"
"When the time comes, Freya's family will be destroyed, and you will be captured by me and forcibly sent back to the upper world. Is this what you want, Freya Goddess?"
